For example, the same as the above application example, just changing nfd from 10 mm to 1 um, the modulation range can be increased to 1000 nm.

However, the above-mentioned literature and invention still have many shortcomings to be improved. In the case of using bulk processing technology (Bulk Micromachining) and silicon wafer bonding (Wafer Bonding), the unevenness of the surface of the two bonded wafers will affect the bonding yield and the parallelism between the mirrors. The larger distance between two wafers (> 5um) will increase its static electricity and dynamic voltage. At the same time, the bonded substrate effect (silicon wafer) limits the use of the wavelength range (for example, it cannot be used for visible light). 】 Surface Micromachining can not be used to make a large optical resonator (d < 3um). Even if the adjustable 2 spectral range is large, good light wave analysis I cannot be achieved, which limits its & J column such as optical communication DWDM), in addition, the substrate effect also limits the use of the producer using the GaAs stupid crystal method, at the same time, the optical resonator is also limited, the method is more complicated 508458 month amendment No. 90109966 V.
